Hello,

The wipers don't clean my window well of water, even with new bosch wiper blades. I wonder if the spring that presses the wiper arm against the glass is getting weak. Has anyone had the same problem and did replacing the wiper arm and spring, or the spring alone do the trick? Any part number for the spring? the spring/arm assembly is about $40-50 each.

My windshield is not in great condition either, and that could be part of the problem. It doesn't have any cracks or big chips, but is scratched from the blades and somewhat pitted. Can this be buffed out in some way, or is a new windshield the only good solution? I'd rather not run the risk of water leaks due to improper installation of a new windshield, let alone the cost and the pain of having to get new inspection/registration stickers.

Thanks
Steve
